This is an outdated facility but kept very clean and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Location was good (ten minutes from Universal Studios) and my family of four had a very pleasant stay. The kids enjoyed the pool (no hot tub) and we felt safe and relaxed while there. If you’re looking for affordable with no frills but everything you need, this was good. There is a basic continental breakfast bar. Only suggestion is to add tea bags and/or juice to the breakfast bar.

The room smelled like urine, couldn't use AC because it made the urine smell worse. The same night we arrived tired from the 8 hour drive with wife and kids, I had to request room change. We got moved to another room we're the urine smell was less intense as long as we didn't run the AC. we were supposed stay for 3 nights but only stayed two. They promised me a refund, but lied. We had stayed there in the past and it wasn't that bad.

he A/C was poor and noisy. The room had a musty smell to it. The kitchen stuff was old. I only used the microwave, which did work.

In four days I was there, no one ever cleaned the room, emptied the waste baskets or changed any towels or sheets.

This hotel, which is essentially a motel, charged for parking every day, which was ridiculous. There was ample parking and not in an area where parking weas at premium. The keys to the room - slide in cards - didn't work more than half the time I used them.

I wonder though if you all really read these reviews and care. This is the second very substandard room I have booked through HOtels.com and reported back on - the first being a real craphole in Westborough MA. I have used hotels.com for many years. But unless I hear back from you with some kind of acknowledgement or credit, I probably won't reserve through you again and will not recommend hotels.com to friends and colleagues, of which I have many. - Michael Zeytoonian

Make sure to scroll through all the pictures. I booked a regular room with 2 queen beds. The room itself was okay but the bathroom was from the 80s...not the updated nice looking white bathroom in the first 30 pics or so. Which means it was kind of falling apart. Tile cracking and the towel holder barely holding on. Alao the road noise was quite loud. We had to leave the ac on to drown out the noise. The pool was nice and clean and the staff was friendly.

Property was in ok conditions, or room had garbage from i dont know when. When i turned on shower faucet the water came out light brown then turned clear. While we were spending time in pool, there was a group of girls blow drying and straightening their hair outside office. Then there were others smoking weed by pool, that ended our pool time short. Staff was very friendly but i definitely think there should be safer guidelines the staff follows.

The guy who works on the night shift was so rude. I was talking to him asking for a copy of my receipt and he kept rolling his eyes saying that it was property of the hotel and I couldn’t get a copy. The air conditioning was not working in our room and it was HOT. also, our shower was shooting water from the faucet and the shower head. It made you literally have to shower in 5 minutes because the tub was filling and filling fast. I will not be staying here again.

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever reserved. The room was filthy no air conditioning broken up items in the room. We couldn’t check in when we arrived. We were told nothing was available. When we finally got the room I immediately got sick in the stomach because of the mold smell. Walls were filthy. The closet hangers were broken. They need to take the pictures down off the website because that’s false advertising. I can’t believe they’re allowed to rent rooms to anyone with the filth that we experienced. We checked our immediately and went to another hotel

Never used the shower so that tells me they did not clean the shower. Curtains were broken so could barely close it open them.

First and foremost, the staff was extremely friendly. Our check-in was great. The location was easy to find and there are plenty of restaurants in the surrounding area.Overall, this place was not impressive. The walls were paper thin when taking a shower if somebody below turned the water on you got an extreme hot or cold burst of water. You can tell a lot of the furniture and the carpentry work was not the best. My family left early one morning to go to Universal Studios and when we returned home later that evening, somehow our door had been unlocked the manager said he checked the video footage and could not figure out how the door unlocked. We were very lucky that none of our items were stolen, but just knowing that the door was open the entire day is enough for me to not return to this location

This place was adorable. I know it's older, but that's where all of it's charm comes from. The 2 king room was HUGE!! One bed was very comfortable, the other one could use replacing. Some of the furniture was old and most people would say replace it, but I personally liked the vintage feel of it. I loved the courtyard area and all of the plants, it was very inviting and relaxing.
The parking lot seemed on the smaller size, but there were a lot of open spots, and lit pretty well.
There is a lot of food options near by and the area was very close to where we needed to go. I thought the area was pretty quiet, and I would stay here again.

** DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY **

Oh dear. Well. I am not that picky about hotels, honestly, but you guys, this place is not it. Don't even bother. The people are nice and they are trying, but their hotel is falling apart.

I could deal with the cracked floors and stained walls, after all, you are not buying the place, but - after I had checked in and unpacked, I realised the door keys did not work, in fact, the whole key section was broken, so I needed to switch rooms.

The new room's key cards worked, but, sigh, where to begin. First, the room had a window without a curtain or anything that was unnerving and being a woman I was not ok with this. The front desk provided me with paper and tape so I could tape up the window, but come on. Splurge a little and put some curtains up so taping paper to the glass is not necessary.

Now let's get to the shower. I literally had to let the water run 10 minutes or more to get any hot water and even then it barely trickled out, no water pressure at all. Such a waste of water, especially in this city. I did not get a proper shower once, but I honestly did not feel like switching rooms again.

It was cold in LA the week I was there and I used the heat in the room at night. The knob was loose and fell off in my hand a few times. The whole unit needed to be replaced, but again, I didn't feel like changing rooms. It did get the room warm though.

So that's it. If you stay here it's honestly at your own peril. I would not go back, sorry.

First room wasn’t even cleaned from the previous guest. Second room was filthy, tub was yellow brown and the whole room stunk bad!! Third room was “clean” but the tub was still yellow and brown. Curtains had holes in them, the bedding had lint from previous guests (we took our own bedding and pillows. Room stunk, I’ve apologized to my kids many times for this stay. They convinced me on staying and not getting a different hotel saying it was ok while I was in tears. During our stay we didn’t get to shower because of the tub conditions. Second night there was loud men talking waking us up when I look outside they looked like homeless people, when I called the front desk about this the Indian man at the front desk Was upset screaming at me bothered by my call. Moments later car alarms in the property started going off. I rushed outside scared to check on our vehicle. Now that we are home our pillows bedding blanks cloths bags everything has that stunk the hotel had! I’m washing everything even threw away some items because of the smell. I booked this hotel because of the reviews, location and photos online! It’s all false advertisement DO NOT stay here if you have children, this is a motel not hotel! People staying here look very sketchy. I’m so upset and disappointed I’ve never experienced anything like this. Hotels.com needs to do more research about properties they offer. Like I mentioned this is a Motel not Hotel!!
